I went out to dinner over the weekend with a few girlfriends, which was so much fun ...I figured being 7 months pregnant I better get some girl time in before hunkering down with a new born/toddler/teenager for the next 20 years of my life! It's such an interesting thing to think about, a little . . .

I had the opportunity yesterday to have a few girls over from the church community group my husband and I host to have a little beauty night! We had so much fun. I have always thought Dez, mother of two of the . . .

I saw a beautiful picture on Beautylish of a model wearing this Kjaer Weis Eyshadow in Blue Wonder and thought it was such a unique color. I had to try it. This looks almost like a country blue/navy in the pan but upon application I noticed some aqua green in it as well. This is the first organic . . .

My sister was in town and part of a wedding over the weekend so she asked if I could do her makeup for the wedding! I of course was excited to do it for her. I am really happy with how it came out!
Face Prep:
I didn't have time to do a facial with the whole ice water . . .

My whole family is in town for a wedding so I have been having a ton of fun playing around with makeup, facials and nails with my mom and two sisters. My mom was having a reunion with some of her college friends so I offered to do a little makeover for her. I first did a skin prep which included a . . .

So I had the pleasure of doing a practice wedding makeup round tonight on this beautiful girl. She just so happens to be my best friends younger sister (one of FIVE sisters!!) and they all are gorgeous. . . .

Beach Makeup... by ninibug125 featuring summer eye makeup
Welllllll...I just got back from a lovely little work trip in the Bahamas, hence being MIA! I was so unsure about what to bring that would last if I were to swim, be out in the sun all day, exercise in a group setting with your . . .

I tried this look recently and really liked the way the subtle gray eyeshadow matched with the subtle lilac tint in the lip gloss. To get this look, I used one shade of eyeshadow from my Nars God Created the Woman-59$ palette called Bellisima. It's a soft beautiful gray color with an almost purple . . .

WAYNE GOSS BRUSHES: So I follow Wayne Goss on Youtube, which I highly recommend! His videos are super short, straight to the point and he does a wonderful job on all his makeup looks that he does for people. He designed these brushes which I knew I had to get my hands on. Since I've tried them, I . . .

Soooo...It's that time of year. I can't say I'm 100% thrilled about the fall here, because I knowww how brutal the winter is probably going to be. Who came up with the idea of global warming??! It seems wrong where I live. I am trying to enjoy the frigid chill that has set in...I am currently . . .

Ok..I have NEVER been a fan of bold lips, especially Matte bold lips on me. Lately, the fad is kinddd of growing on me though. There are some really awesome colors out there, but this little box of Bite Lip Pencils is hands down the . . .

So I really challenged myself this time to do a look with a FULL face of drugstore picks. I'd have to say, it doesn't look any different than if I did it with high price items! I have a penchant for department store stuff, but some days, it's helpful to use cheaper stuff to save my really good . . .

This week I have been really good at matching my jewelry to my makeup/nails. Haha..doesn't happen often that I actually match so I thought I'd share the colors. Loving the Essie Nail Polish Color in Naughty Nautical and the Almay Color and Care Liquid Lip Balm in Lilac Love. I found my necklace at . . .

Bobbi Brown Navy & Nude Eye Palette-60$
Bobbi Brown is a genius!! This is my absolute favorite new collection of hers. Honestly, Katie Holmes has never looked better as her new model...especially in this collection! I personally have never worn navy on my eyes! I think it really works well for . . .

BEFORE
Any time any of my family members comes over, I have the urge to do a make over, not that any one needs it, just that I love to practice with all of my supplies :). I think my mom is beautiful already, inside and out. It was just fun to try this look on her. I also did her hair while I was . . .
